The Property - The land for sale is circa. 5.4 acres in size, running north to south along Cherry Gardens and south of Ryedown Lane.
There are two main access points, a gate from Ryedown Lane and a main vehicular access from Cherry Gardens.
The land is currently leased for agricultural use, but Vacant Possession on completion is available.
The Opportunity - The land has been assessed as having potential for future development.
Due to being adjacent to the Settlement Boundary, the land has potential as Grey Belt land under the new planning laws, which would allow for an immediate application. Alternatively, the land could be held and promoted via the Local Development Plan in the future.
With substantial development set to come around this area of Bristol, there is potentially signficiant investment value that could be unlocked through a planning consent on this land.
We recommend that bidders seek their own independent planning advice in relation to this opportunity.
Planning Landscape - The land is situated on the eastern fringe of Bristol, between Willsbridge and the village of Bitton.
South Gloucestershire Council has been creating its new Local Development Plan, which has recently reached its Regulation 19 step. This land was not included in the list of Draft Allocations, as it was not put forward in the Call for Sites, however there are nearby sites on the same edge of Bristol that are progressing towards formal allocation within the forthcoming local plan.
The list of Draft Allocations include the land adjacent to the local Bitton Athletic Football Club, plus a signifcant swathe of land east of Barry Road, which is directly north of the development site at the former Chief Trading Post (this land is situated approximately, 350 meters north of the land for sale).
There is potential for this land to be considered as Grey Belt, subject to a review of its impact on the Green Belt.
For more information, we are able to recommend a suitable planning firm for further discussion.
